When our friend told us the Beastie Boys were playing a warm-up show at the Crocodile this Friday, we called him a liar and a sonofabitch. Then he sent us the Ticketmaster link. No ****ing way, we thought.
Tickets went on sale online today at 4pm. We (and our friends, elsewhere in the city) had our fingers on the trigger. Clock hit 3:59 and we started refreshing the Ticketmaster page. Clock hit 4:00 and bam! Purchase Tickets!
We were successful. We'll be seeing the Beastie Boys at the Crocodile Cafe this Friday and we still can't believe it. But we were lucky. None of our friends were successful and you know why? Because of ****ing *******s who don't even want to see this show. Take a look at Ebay and Craig's List and there are already tickets for re-sale at obscene prices. This ******* on Ebay is asking for a minimum bid of $399.
Scalpers are so f-ing lame. I missed work to try and get tickets for this stupid show... I was ON ticketmaster and refreshed the page the SECOND it turned 4:00pm and it ALREADY said "There were no tickets available that matched your request". You damn hackers and scalpers can kiss my a**. So any of you foofoos who are selling these tix: You are frauders and hackers and craigslist should ban you from trying to sell them.
